To all whom it may concern:v

'Be it known that I, GEORGE H. JUDY, a

l a citizen of the United States residing at 3845 Ellis avenue, Chicago, county of Cook,

and State of Illinois, have invented a new and original Device for Making a Wheel Fit on Axles for Locomotives and Tenders and Car-Wheels for All Kinds of Railroad Cars and Locomotives and Tenders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a new and original plan for making a double wheel-fit on axles for locomotives and tenders and car wheels and axles. And the object of my improvement is, first, to provide a plan of a car wheel-fit complete on axles that will be safe.

Second, a plan that will prevent the car 'two adjoining bearings, one of which is wheel from coming loose on the axle and causing a wreck. I attain theseobjects by the mechanism illustrated by the accom-' panying drawings, in which V Figure 1. is a back view of wheel with details of axles and hub. Fig. 2. is a section of wheel and axle showing axle fitting into wheel in detail, according to my invencopies'ot this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patent,

form a lock tion. Figs. 3 and 4:. represent inplan and in'sectiom'the usual means employed infitting an axle in a car wheel.

1,-in Fig. 2 shows a-sectionof the wheel.

2,is axle. 3,shows axle fitted into wheel hub and cam on axle. This cam is machined on the axle tofit back part of wheel hub,

and is thrown outvof center sufliciently to when pressed into'vthe wheel. V a

hub at .5, n V 1 l,is front ofaxle fitted into wheel at 6'.

and wheel with the wheel hub bored as per 1 drawing at 5 and 6, to closely fit theecceneccentric to the axis thereof, with hub having corresponding seats.
